    There are so many other variables to consider. What are your stats: height, current weight, gender, age, activity level
    How much weight are you trying to lose?
    Do you exercise?
    Will you be using a food scale?

    When you enter all of your info in MFP and select a goal rate of loss, what calorie target does the system recommend?

    Bottom line lots of people have lost weight with a NET calorie intake of 1400. If you can depends on much of the above.

    I’ve been eating 1200-1400 since January 1 and have lost 6 pounds. I am 5’4 and 30 years old. Light activity as I’m a teacher but little to no formal exercise.

    I’ve been doing the 16:8 intermittent fasting so I eat from 11-7 most days. Today I’m doing 8-4 as I woke up super early.

    for me, maintenance is 1800. so, anything under that and i lose.

    i aim for 1200 a day, but most often eat 14-1500.

    lose just fine.

    120 pounds down.

    I lost most of my weight (from 180 to 140) at 1500-1600 PLUS Exercise calories, so most days I was eating 1800-2000 calories total.

    It really depends on your current height, weight and activity level.

    Set your Goal to 1400 and log food accurately for a couple months. Adjust as needed.
